I have V2 and i have driven close to 53000 KM on the car. My car was making noise when i was driving and i got it checked, they told me that my left wheel bearing has gone bad. I called FAW Rawalpindi and they told me the front wheel bearing is 5200 a piece i was like what that is more than my Toyota Corolla wheel bearing. They said the labour is 2200 for every wheel. You don't get one wheel bearing changed the practise is you get both changed so it add up to close to 14000 rupees.
I always call two dealerships to check the prices so i called the Islamabad I-9/3 Dealership because they both are owned by different people and everyone got their own management and way of doing things. Except oil and air filter there is always variance in their prices. I know this because one time my dry battery stopped working so i called both of them one told me 6000 the other told me 14000 anyways the Islamabad dealership told me the front wheel bearing is only 1700 a piece, 1800 for getting them pressed or the tool guy(KHARADIA) and 2200 for labour.I was like they are charging way less. The total is for both wheels 7400 for I-9 Islamabad. I prefer to get work done from FAW Rawalpindi because there workman ship is better than Islamabad dealership according to my own personal view. The price difference was so outrageous that i had to look for different options. Even then i was so much money i was not satisfied, my car is no more in warranty to me it makes no difference. I went to dealership bought the Pads for 3400 and went to mechanic shop in Sawaa Garden and paid them 900 to put them in only. I got everything done for 4300. I could have saved even more money like close to 300 rupees if i knew the Bearing part number, in market the bearing with this part number is only 1400 rupees. Well you can't win every battle. LOL. The mechanic took less than 15 minutes and it was all done, he said the car is same as Vitz so it was not something new for him. Anyways i have attached pics for you to enjoy.
Lesson: Buy parts from dealership and get your car fixed from outside.
Lets do the maths
FAW Rawalpindi
2 Wheel Beading Cost 5200
Repair for each tire 2200
Times 2 for both wheels that add up to 14899
FAW ISLAMABAD I-9
2 WHEEL BEARING 3400
PRESS FOR BOTH 1800
LABOUR FOR BOTH 2200
TOTAL 7400
FROM OUTSIDE
PRICE FOR 2 WHEEL BEARING 2800
LABOUR 900
total 3700
If you want to buy V2 bearing from outside the number is
DAC3870DW PART NUMBER FOR BEARING
This is just to inform not to say someone is good or bad. Dealership charge premium prices because they are dealerships but there should not be too much variation from one to the next in my own humble opinion.
